The Commissioner of Patents has rem.
dered an important decision in the case
of an application to register a trade
mark for distilled spirits, in which the
words "Knights of Labor and "K. OF
L." distillery appear. The Commits
sioner states that there is no pretense
that the manufacturers Of this particular
brand of whisky who seek to register the
trademark are Knights of Labor or are
engaged in business with them, or are
acting under their orders, yet the dis
t~inctive mark points to this labor organ
ization or to its members as the origin of
the ownership of the articles to which it
is applied. In other words, the proposed
trademark is in the nature of a false
representation and deception as to the
general public, possibly inducing them
to purchase an article under the belief
that it is manufactured by a society in
which they have a friendly interest.
The Commissioner, therefore, on the
ground Of false pretenses of such trade.
mark, refuses its registration.

LETTE RS.

George William Curtis. in Harpers
Weekly, discussing the question lately
asked. Scan a husband open his wife's
letters?" has this to say: "While
husband and wife are one to each other,
they are two in the eyes of other people,
and it may well happen that a friend
will desire to impart something to a dis
Greet woman which she would not In
trust to the babbling husband OF that
Every life must have it's own
privacy and its W place of retirement.
The letter is of all things the most per-
sonal and intimate thing. It's bloom is
gone when another eye sees it before the
one for which it was intended. Its aroma
will escape when it is first opened by
another person. One might as well wear
secondhand clothing as get a second
hand letter. Here, then, is a sacred
right that ought to be respected, and can
be respected without any injury to do
nestle life"
George William is right and he has
struck the keynote to domestic harmony.
He might have reversed the case with
equal truth, and the same conclusions
could be drawn in respect to a wife's
opening her husbands letters. You may
be sure George that the bloom is all
gone and the aroma all escaped from the
little missives that a man sometimes re.
ceives from his Sunday girl, when once
the aye of the wife sees it before 1T
comes to you. You might indeed as
we'll wear second hand clothing as to get
a secondhand letter Of this kind. You
would then realize for the first time the
beauty of your sentiment. "every life
must have its privacy and its W place
of retirement" and the sooner you could
get there the better. The right to read
your own letters from your own girl,
whether you are married or not, is in
deed sacred and can be respected with
out any injury to domestic life, at least
not on your side of the house.-Salt
Lake Tribune.

Mrs. Langley at "GaIatea."

Wednesdays Virginia Enterprise, after
speaking Of her personal charms and the
large house that greeted her that night in

ton OF "Galatea: "In the first act when
Mrs. Langtry appeared as ~Pygmalon's

GOODNESS and gave her deserved applause.
Her charming simulations OF innocence

Mrs. Lsngtry ia not a great actress, but
she is a very pleasing one, and II we adopt

stone by which to measure her success, 1t

WE'LL INFORMED.

1t is not generally known, but it is a
fact, that the Navy Department in
Washington keeps thoroughly informed
as to the whereabouts of war vessels of
all foreign powers. One of the officers
detailed to keep track of foreign vessels
said: eve not only know the minutest
details of each man.of.war's equipment,
such as the number of guns, character
and thickness of the armor and number
of men carried, but we are up to every
point as to speed, age, present position,
possible destination, and all that kind Of
thing. We also know about all there is
to find out about the war ships of every
other nation, but we are especially and
peculiarly familiar with all that pertains
to the war boats of Mr.. John Bull"
The reporter determined to test the
matter by mentioning the name of the
only English man-of.war he could recall,
asked: "Where is the Bellerophon?
"Ihe B~ellerophon," Immediately re.
piled the officer, sis in the harbor of
Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the gunboat
Pylades is anchored about four cable
lengths away"
The information is collected, compiled,
tabulated and disseminated by the Blu.
reau of Naval Intelligence. On a large
map of the world in the bureau may be
seen many little lunches Of pins, to each
of which is attached a label bearing the
name Of a foreign ship, and it tells at a
glance where the ships of the various
nations are. These pins are changed
daily or weekly, in accordance with the
movements Of the vessels. The Secre-
tary of the Navy can learn at once, if
weight is to be attached, the move.

A Succession balloon Trim.

A successful balloon trip over the Irish
Sea has been made by the well-known En-.
glish ~aeronaut. Mr.. Simmons. He started
from Preston for q short ascent, but a
contrary breeze took his craft directly
over the channel, somewhat to the aero
naut's dismsy, as he was neither pro-
visioned nor provided with apparatus for
keeping sfloat if the balloon suddenly
descended in mid. channel. Happily the
wind landed him safely in Ireland, at q
farm al ~Ballyboden, Rathfarnham, seven
miles from Dublin, after six and one
quarter hours journey.

Reds Painting the Town Their own
Color.

Enterprise: Night before last five
mounted Piutes, filled to the throat with
tarantula juice, undertook TO play cowboy
on G street. They charged wildly and
recklessly about to the endsngering OF
necks. and seemed OF the opinion that
they had taken the town, until Chief
Henderson and some of his officers ap.
peared on the scene. They then 500

must have got a dose OF. the worst

m%ofningIshey were still too drunk too tell
where they got their liquor. This is the
first break of the Kind ever made by the
Piutes. Occasionally an individual
among them has been seen drunk, but he
has always been on foot and rather help
less and silly than rampant. AS these fei.
lows were mounted they probably got
their cowboy inspiration somewhere out
side of the city.

working Into h Burnt District.

Working Into the Barnt District.
Virginia Enterprises: At the CONSOLE
dated California and Virginia mine they
are gradually working their way into the
region so long inolosed by bulkheads and
held possession Of by q smouldering fire.
All indicates that superintendent Patton's
plan of injecting carbonic acid gas into
this burning section has as effectually
killed the fire as if 1t had been covered by
Lake Tahoe. They are now drifting into
the ground within the bulkheads or the
1900 level. 1t is found to be very badly
caved. but this was expected and il was a
natural consequence of the burning out OF
the supporting timbers. The ground ia
yet very hot, but it will not be necessary
to cool the rock by means Of water thrown
in through hose. The region will be
cooled off by the air flowing in through
the drift in progress on the 1000 level and
through the opened bulkheads at other
points. At the time when the miners
we're driven out of this portion of the
mine by the fire there was left q gooG
body of ore, several sets of timbers il
width. which lies west of the old slopes
1t is for this body of ore that the course O.
the drift now going In will be directed.
